Direct TV DVR and NFL Sunday Ticket
Fall is the best time of year. No not just because of the cooler weather and the leaves on the ground, but because it is now time for some football.
The NFL season is great because after two months of almost nothing on television as far as sports, suddenly you are presented with plenty of games every Saturday and Sunday. A baseball game is great in person, but sitting and watching it on TV puts a man to sleep. At least the 2008 Olympics provided some sports action this year.
I love both the college and the NFL games for several reasons. The passion involved in the college game is like nothing else. Every weekend, hundreds of thousands of screaming supporters fill up local stadiums in an effort to help the home team to victory. With the expansion of network television contracts, there are usually great games on every Thursday and Saturday night as well. While I don’t really like the BCS system that is in place in the college ranks, one benefit to the setup is that every regular season matchup really matters. A college team may get away with one loss during the year, but if they want a shot at the title, then they can’t afford to lose more than once.
The National Football League is a different beast, but just as good in my opinion. Again the passion is amazing, especially in the great NFL cities like Dallas, Denver, Green Bay, and Kansas City. What makes the NFL interesting for many fans is the expansion of fantasy football. Sure some guys go a little crazy, in that they spend all of their free time evaluating their roster and proposing ridiculous trades to the other fantasy players in the league. Just get started with the right set of people, then fantasy football makes all of the matchups much more interesting.
This year I had to re-evaluate my cable TV, as Cox cable continued to disappoint me as far at their service and pricing. Luckily for me, I had a couple of choices, as U Verse from AT&T service is now in my area, as well as satellite TV. After checking into my choices, I discovered there are great satellite TV deals going on right now. So then it became the old DirecTV vs DISH debate Being the huge fan that I am, I just wouldn’t pass up the Direct TV Sunday Ticket package that they offer. In addition, they offer new college football premium packages, such as the Gameplan from ESPN. Overall, there is just more for your money when comparing satellite vs cable. Plus, you just can’t beat the Direct TV DVR.
My wife may not like that selection, but at least she will know where to find me, right in front of the TV this fall!
